What To Mix With Greek Yogurts (Plain Or Vanilla)



Recommended Posts

So basically I eat greek yogurt EVERY DAY for Breakfast (and I love it!) I usually buy the one's with the fruit on the bottom and add a little granola. My DBF made the suggestion to get the big tub of either the plain or vanilla and add whatever to it.

Any suggestions?

Add fresh fruit. Blueberries and strawberries are good!

maybe some splenda for sweetness, or the sugar free jams would be good mixed in, kind of like the fruit on the bottom.

I agree with the above post also try pumpkin puree with cinnamon or applesauce with cinnamon. By switching to plain you will save yourself a lot of unwanted sugars.

My nutritionist told me to avoid the ones with fruit already in the because they have about 17g sugar. I mix peaches packed in Water (drained) or I mix my Protein Powder in it. I prefer ricotta cheese over Greek yogurt. It stays with me longer.

I just started adding chopped strawberries to mine and thought to myself, why didn't I do this before! Yum! I do buy a yogurt from Ralphs called CarbMaster. It is their brand and though it's not greek yogurt it has 8 grams of Protein and only 60 calories.

I add the plain to Soups, cheese sauce as a topping on anything you might put sour cream on its lower cal and higher Protein. I use it a lot in liquid and Soft stages to increase protein. A little in broth ( my dr approved before check with yours). During the clear liquid stage ; added a lot of flavor and protein.

Almost every morning during the work week, I have plain greek yogurt (which I get in two large tubs at costco for $4) with some frozen berries and about a tsp of agave drizzled on top. By the time I get to work, the berries have defrosted, but kept the yogurt cold at the same time. It is the perfect breakfast!

Also, if you're in need of a chocolate fix...it is really good mixed with some cocoa powder and either stevia, splenda, or agave...to cut out the bitterness.

I just add to taste...there are not very many calories in straight-up cocoa powder, and zero in both stevia and splenda, so it doesn't add too many extra calories

I like mine plain with walnuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, some chia seeds and a drizzle of honey. Grain free "muesli". Really yummy and it gets me through the morning. Sometimes I defrost berries overnight and add those in too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
